The Icarus Check
Icarus Check – Strengthen Your Co-Founder Relationship
Great co-founder relationships don’t just happen—they require ongoing alignment, reflection, and communication. The Icarus Check is a structured check-in framework designed to help co-founders proactively assess their partnership, address potential tensions, and ensure they are working towards a shared vision.
This tool enables founders to have honest, structured conversations about business progress, workload balance, decision-making, and personal well-being—before small issues turn into major conflicts.
How it works:
✔ Business Check-In – Reflect on priorities, bottlenecks, and opportunities.
✔ Relationship Check-In – Evaluate communication, trust, and personal well-being.
✔ Red, Amber, Green Framework – Identify alignment and areas needing attention.
✔ Next Steps – Agree on actionable solutions to strengthen the partnership.
By using the Icarus Check regularly, you and your co-founder can stay aligned, prevent burnout, and build a resilient, high-functioning partnership—because even the strongest teams need a reality check.
